Because you specified "-r /doc" to lilo, which says to chroot to /doc before starting to do anything. In fact, a simple "lilo-doc -r /doc" will do the right thing for you. If i remove my harddisk , I still cannot boot from my doc . just get "boot failure " . That means that the DoC isn't bootable. Maybe the first partition isn't "active".
